Flushing the water system on a 99X series laser

Disclaimer: The procedures described herein should be performed only by or under the supervision of specialized technicians. LaserStar is not responsible for damage to parts, equipment, or persons who attempt to perform any of these procedures without proper supervision or technical assistance, proper tools, or the safety measures necessary for handling lasers and high- and low-voltage equipment.

If you transport the laser during low-temperature seasons, thoroughly flush the system to prevent ice from breaking components such as the lamp, the Yag Rod, or the Heat Exchanger. This procedure applies to G3, G4, and G5 laser’s

To remove water from the system, blow it out with compressed air or nitrogen, whichever is at hand. Follow the steps below:

Drain the system. Remove the water from the water container.

Disconnect the outlet hose on the Flash Lamp Chamber

If your Laser is a G3, follow these images

If your Laser is a G4 or G5, follow these images.

Please insert the disconnected hose into a container to collect the water expelled from the system when you apply compressed air.

Now, apply compressed air or nitrogen through the chamber nozzle to expel the water via the hose into the container. This will remove the water present in the heat exchanger. It can also help remove debris trapped in the heat exchanger, such as remnants of a broken lamp.    

If your Laser is a G3, follow these images.

If your Laser is a G4 or G5, follow these images.

In this way, the system will be completely free of water susceptible to freezing during transportation in low winter temperatures, in addition to cleaning the entire system of debris trapped in the laser’s water system.

Don't forget to reconnect the hose before adding water back to the system.
